Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 310 The Barrel Principle
Although Damien Wilkins' defense looks very tiger and scary, in front of Kobe, who is proficient in various scoring methods, it is just a few drops of sweat.

Of course, McMillan didn't really expect him to be able to defend Kobe into something. Liberating Ray Allen on the defensive end is the main purpose.

Jim also saw this point. If Billups was allowed to single Ray Allen, the effect would not necessarily be good. The guard-shaped Ray Allen has no advantage.

So the Lakers replaced Billups in advance and replaced Wade.

The philosophy of Phil Jackson and Jim has one thing in common, that is, the ball is not concentrated on the point guard or the core. A highly concentrated ball can certainly maximize the strength of the star, but the side effect is that once the star leaves the field , other players can easily become incapable of playing.

When Billups is on the court, he will have a little more ball possession, but he doesn't have to initiate every offense. Garnett and Kobe can instigate the offense. When Wade is on the court, he is nominally a point guard. , but the work he does is swaying.

After Wade came on the court, the Lakers had an extra point in the backcourt. The SuperSonics' strategy of hiding Ray Allen was no longer effective. After a foul on his back, Ray Allen had some concerns when defending Wade's breakthrough. Jerome James took the blame for him and quickly picked up three personal fouls before being forced off and replaced by Danny Fortson.

Fortson's shortcomings are also obvious. Firstly, he is short in height, and secondly, he can't control his fouls. Garnett, who has been a space-type fifth position for half a day, also took this opportunity to score points on Fortson's head, helping The Lakers stabilized their lead, and the Supersonics only relied on super gods Radmanovich and Rashad Lewis to support the situation.

第一节湖人以28比20领先，科比得到12分，而超音速方面，拉德马诺维奇5投4中得到11分。

In the second quarter, both sides made lineup adjustments. The Lakers replaced Nene and Haslem, and appeared together with Wade, Battier and Dengtay Jones. Reggie Evans, who fouled twice, was paired with Danny Fortson on the inside and Ronald Murray, Antonio Daniels and Radmanovic on the outside.

The superb touch obviously couldn't last the whole game. On the first shot in the second quarter, Radmanovic's shot ended in a strike.

However, Reggie Evans and Danny Fortson, the two front-runners of the Supersonics, are not vegetarians. Although Nene and Haslem are known for being active, it is still a bit difficult to face these two rebounding experts. After some hand-to-hand combat, Fortson grabbed the offensive rebound and then made a tip-up.

This is also one of the secrets for the Sonics to maintain the top record in the league, using a large number of offensive rebounds to make up for the lack of inside offensive ability, and to cover the outside firepower.

Of course, Nei and Haslem are not bean sprouts to be tortured by others. They spent a lot of time in the offseason to sharpen their muscles and build their strength. It has never been an inch of ground.

So in the second quarter, the main theme of the two sides turned into hand-to-hand combat, with frequent fouls. Nene and Danny Fortson each received a technical foul because of the quarrel. Jim had to make a solemn statement to Nene and Haslem during the timeout. It is not allowed to be suspended for fighting because of being unable to control one's emotions.

In the first 6 minutes, the two sides played a 7-6 game, and the game was fragmented.Wade didn't feel good, and he made 4 of 0 shots outside the three-second zone, and others couldn't give him too much support.And Radmanovic has a tendency to find his own touch, receiving an offensive rebound from Reggie Evans, ignoring Battier and hitting a large three-pointer.

Jim had no choice but to replace Battier with Trevor Ariza. He implemented the "cut Reggie Evans" tactic against the Sonics, allowing the rebounding idiot with a 47.2% free throw percentage this season to go to the free throw line to disrupt the SuperSonics. Sonic attack tempo.

The next game is to fly to New York to challenge the Nets in an away game, traveling across the entire United States, Jim does not want the players to consume too much in this kind of hand-to-hand combat.

Reggie Evans made only one of 4 free throws. Here Wade finally hit his first mid-range shot. McMillan had no choice but to switch back to the main lineup and Damien Wilkins. · Lewis top to the fourth position.

Rashard Lewis' defense and confrontation were much weaker than Reggie Evans'. The Lakers immediately changed their offensive focus. David West and Garnett took turns attacking the Sonics' slightly empty interior. Lewis scored frequently on his head, and on the defensive end, Artest continued to stare at Lewis and let go of Damien Wilkins.Kobe clung to Ray Allen and didn't give him an easy chance to catch the ball.

In this rhythm of the game, the Lakers have more scoring points and a more balanced lineup. The players on the field have the ability to attack independently, but the Supersonic defense, whether it is Lewis or Radmanovich, or It was Ridnour, and there were always those two holes that had to stay on the field.On the offensive end, Damien Wilkins didn't have much shooting threat, and David West ignored Wilkins who was standing outside the three-point line.Such a lineup with obvious flaws on both offensive and defensive ends was placed on the court, and the Lakers took the opportunity to expand their lead.

The score was 50-36 at halftime, and the Sonics shot just 37.2 percent from the field, a stat that would have been even worse without Radmanovic, who was 11 for 7 from the field.

In the second half of the game, the Lakers did not give the Sonics too many opportunities to comeback. Ray Allen did not participate in the whole game. He scored 10 points and 4 assists on 11 of 5 shots. His performance was quite sluggish. Radmanovich Qi contributed to the best game of his career, 13 of 8 three-pointers, scored 30 points alone, but failed to save the Sonics. The Lakers won a big victory 101 to 79, and 79 points are the highest score for the Sonics this season. lowest single-game score.Bryant clocked in three quarters and scored 28 points, and Billups had 14 points and 11 assists.

“I have to thank Trevor for the 100-pointer at the end that put us at [-] so I could have such a delicious taco. We did a good job defensively and Vladimir hit a lot of [-]s , but we didn’t hesitate too much. The players all firmly implemented the strategy we deployed and were not shaken by the opponent’s touch. In two quarters, we allowed the opponent to score only a dozen points. This is very good. When someone needs to score, he stepped up and destroyed the opponent's defense. We need this victory to restore confidence. We have lost enough games this season to make me look a little incompetent." In accepting Craig During Seger's interview, Jim munches on a taco and talks stand-up.

"If you are incompetent, then the head coaches of the teams that lost to the Lakers will feel ashamed."
